Chapter 237 If you want to fight, I will fight
Yang Wenguang and Ma Jinhu in the cavalry camp of the Western Army were all furious at this time, scolding. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason why the two of them were so angry was because the Jiaozhi people were too arrogant and really didn't take their western army seriously.
The soldiers of the Western Army sent by Ma Jinhu went to negotiate with the Jiaozhi people to ask for Nong Zhigao, but they didn't expect these greedy Jiaozhi people to offer 1 million yuan from the Great Song Dynasty in exchange for Nong Zhigao.
This Jiaozhi person is obviously trying to find fault, and he doesn't want to give Nong Zhigao to Da Song at all. You must know that in the alliance signed between the Great Song Dynasty and Liao, it is only an annual coin of 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk to Liao, which is about 300,000 yuan. Even during the Qingli period, the Liao people took advantage of the struggle between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia people, and asked the Great Song Dynasty to increase the annual coins, but they only asked for an extra 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 horses of silk.
In the eyes of Ma Jinhu and Yang Wenguang, these Jiaozhi monkeys are really insatiable, and they ask for a price in death, don't say it's a million guan, it's 10,000 guan, they both think it's too much.
The soldiers of the Western Army sent by Ma Jinhua naturally couldn't agree to this price, so they negotiated with the Jiaozhi people very politely.
Unexpectedly, Li De'an, the leader of the Jiaozhi people and the king of Luocheng, suddenly turned his face and said that those soldiers of the Western Army were rude to him. When he ordered his subordinates to knock those Western Army soldiers to the ground and tie them with ropes, he also asked his subordinates to cut off the ears of those Western Army soldiers under their subordinates, and let them come back to spread the word, saying that Nong Zhigao was indeed in his camp, and if he didn't take a million guan money, he would let Nong Zhigao go, and let the Great Song never find him.
Those soldiers of the Western Army are all iron-clad and fierce men, how could they have suffered such a great humiliation, after coming back to report the incident, they didn't want to steal their lives, and immediately stepped on their horses, brought weapons, and went to find Jiaozhi people to fight to the death.
Ma Jinhu finally stopped them, but looking at the gritted teeth of those soldiers and shouted: If you don't share the sky with the Jiaozhi people, you won't take revenge, and you will never steal your life, Ma Jinhu is also churning in his heart. He now promised to avenge them and calm them down.
Listening to the arrogant words of Li De'an, the commander of the Jiaozhi Army, who came back from the negotiations, Yang Wenguang and Ma Jinhu were also angry and furious. This is a fucking provocation, an absolute provocation, this is a naked provocation at all. Do these cochin monkeys really think that their Western Army is eating dry rice? Could it be that the Western Army will be afraid of them, the southern barbarians?
Fight, you must beat them so that they don't even know him~ Mom, otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of this hatred. Be sure to make those cochin monkeys pay for their arrogant comeback! Since you are provocative, since you want to go to war, go to war over there!
If you want to fight, I will fight, who is the Western Army afraid of!
At that moment, Ma Jinhu and Yang Wenguang immediately sent people to ask Di Shuai for instructions overnight, and resolutely asked to ask for a battle to attack those Jiaozhi people. At the same time, they also made their Western cavalry ready, ready to wait for Di Shuai's consent to beat the Jiaozhi people, and then they went to teach those Jiaozhi monkeys who didn't know the height of the sky!
…………
When Di Qing received a report from Ma Jinhu, the commander of the cavalry unit of the Western Army, and Yang Wenguang, the commander of the vanguard army, he immediately paid attention to it.
For these cochin people, Di Qing is also very annoying. Moreover, after receiving their own commandments, they were still stranded in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, which was equivalent to invading the Great Song Dynasty. Di Qing felt that it was also necessary to give them a head-on blow.
Di Qing is not only a general who can kill the enemy on the battlefield, but a marshal who can consider it all, which is also the reason why he is stronger than other Great Song generals, and it is also the reason why he is deeply trusted and reused by the officials.
After a thorough review, he felt that since he wanted to fight for decades of stability in Lingnan in a war, the Jiaozhi people who were watching on the side must be deterred. This time, Nong Zhigao poisoned the two Guangzhou, completely exposing the incompetence of the Lingnan Song army, if you don't deter those Jiaozhi people who are ready to move, Lingnan is afraid that it will be difficult to have a peaceful day, and I am afraid that in the future, I am afraid that it will be constantly harassed by the Jiaozhi people. Since the Jiaozhi people are so provocative, they are obviously very arrogant and look down on the Western Army. I'm afraid that even if the Western Army is guarding Lingnan, these Jiaozhi people can't help but come to intrude, not to mention that after the Western Army, some Song troops who are not as strong as them in combat will be stationed.
However, Di Qing was a little strange, his Western Army had just flattened Nong Zhigao's army and beaten it to the ground, how could these Jiaozhi people dare to be so arrogant and look down on the Western Army? Of course, it would not be strange if he knew what Nong Zhigao said and tried his best to belittle the combat effectiveness of the Western Army. But although Di Qing was a little strange, it didn't affect his decision to make up his mind to fight the Jiaozhi people at all.
It is said that the war with the Jiaozhi State is also a major national matter, and it is said that it will be reported to the imperial court for discussion, but Di Qing knows the urine nature of those civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty, and this matter is not discussed ten times or eight times, I am afraid that it will not come up with a resolution, and Lingnan is far away from Tokyo, and it will be a waste of time to come back.
Things on the battlefield are often changing rapidly, and the fighters are sometimes fleeting, so Di Qing immediately decided to put aside those decision-makers in the imperial court, and exercised his arbitrary power as the chief of the two lakes and two Guangzhous, and the commander of the counterinsurgency of the army going south, and immediately decided to teach those arrogant Jiaozhi people a lesson.
As for how to explain to the court in the future, uh, as long as the battle is won, you can explain whatever you want. If the civil officials of the imperial court asked why they were at war with the Jiaozhi people, they would just give a reason. For example, the Jiaozhi people harbored the rebel thief chief Nong Zhigao, for example, the Jiaozhi people insulted the current officials, and for example, the Jiaozhi people took the initiative to attack the Western Army, so they naturally had a reason to prevaricate. As long as you win, it's fine.
As for whether it can be won or not? There seems to be no suspense about this, with the combat effectiveness of the Western Army, there is still no problem in beating those Jiaozhi people who are not successful, Di Qing thinks so, and all the soldiers of the Western Army think so.
Then let the soldiers prepare for war, and completely hurt the Jiaozhi people, so as to completely break their idea of coming to the Great Song Dynasty to take advantage of it, and to ensure the stability of Lingnan.
At present, Di Qing left 15,000 Western Army infantry to garrison Yongzhou City to ensure the stability of Yongzhou City as the rear, and he led 10,000 infantry to join the Western Army cavalry, preparing to teach those Jiaozhi people a lesson.
In fact, Di Qing felt that only the more than 4,000 iron cavalry of the Western Army was enough to defeat those Jiaozhi troops who had little combat effectiveness. As long as those southern barbarians have no elephant soldiers, there is nothing to be afraid of. The reason why he brought these infantry was purely just in case, to deal with the unexpected.
